I'm trying to upgrade setuptools on CentOS 6 and run into this problem:

$ sudo pip install setuptools --no-use-wheel --upgrade
DEPRECATION: Python 2.6 is no longer supported by the Python core team, please upgrade your Python. A future version of pip will drop support for Python 2.6
DEPRECATION: --no-use-wheel is deprecated and will be removed in the future.  Please use --no-binary :all: instead.

Any suggestions? I tried manually uninstalling and reinstalling with pip and that didn't work. Once setuptools was removed, pip complained that a file was missing and could not proceed with the installation.

The following line in the traceback
File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/pip-8.1.2-py2.6.egg/pip/utils/outdated.py", line 102, in pip_version_check

shows the error is raised when pip checks for update. As a workaround you can disable this check by passing --disable-pip-version-check argument to pip.

Also please notice the line
Successfully installed setuptools
in the output. Taking above two observations into account I think it's safe to disregard the error.

Also I advise against using sudo with pip – see Is it acceptable & safe to run pip install under sudo? Instead use --user option or virtualenv.
